Several suggestions I found were for mustard as the third shaker.  I 
think this is probably true because if you watch the following video the 
butler puts out a grinder for the salt, the pepper and a small cellar 
for mustard when setting a royal table.  So in some places they are 
still putting out a third spice/condiment.

"Stranger still, Bryson reveals that there used to be/three/shakers at 
the dining table as recently as the 19th century. Historians have no 
idea what went inside the third shaker. Maybe powdered mustard? Whatever 
it was, it got demoted. (You thought the third wheel had it rough.)"
